"The U.S. now experiences a billion-dollar disaster about every two weeks, on average." 😩 As communities struggle to recover from increasingly devastating climate disasters, the Big Oil companies fueling them are making trillions—and paying nothing. We can't afford to let Big Oil off the hook.

Reminder that even if you can’t see or smell smoke, Melbourne & Victoria is being covered in a fine layer of bushfire ash. Wear a P2 or N95 mask when you’re outside, as you’ll be breathing it in. Even more important if you’re pregnant, have asthma, or otherwise medically vulnerable. #VicFires

I think it's a bad sign that every major news media outlet has spent days asking whether or not murder is bad and how much child porn is an okay amount
